San Gimignano

San Gimignano, or 'The Town of Beautiful Towers', is located in the province of Siena within the Tuscan hills in central-north Italy. It is a true Italian jewel, and explores a whole new concept of living in the Comune's historic stone towers and quaint medieval streets. It is a great place for photographers to explore its stunning Renaissance and Gothic architecture. The Church of Sant Agostino, one of the most impressive churches in the region, stands proud alongside the museum dedicated to the town's most famous painter, Lippo Memmi; the Civic Museum; and the Museum of Torture. Travelers can enjoy a pleasant walk or bike ride around the plain where they can witness the sunrise and sunset, while historical monuments such as the Medicifortress and Dante's Tower provide a unique view over the town. The surrounding hills offer an array of nature, including the Sauro stone quarries and the spectacular Parco della Rocca, an area of protected nature. Visit San Gimignano for an exquisite experience of its culture and beauty, and make sure to try the delicious local wines and specialties.
